I tried pp. it was ok but it was too simple. It took inspiration off gen 1. Other than nostalgia, gen 1 isn't that great. Just the bare bones of a Pokemon game.

PBB is a much more different take and that's probably why people prefer it over pp. however it's far from perfect. The main problem is the huge levelling curve around mid game. Partly due to max levels are set until the game is made further. This is to prevent players from sweeping every thing as it can take forever for updates to role out. The levelling curve affects new players the most like me. I only started PBB in June this year so there was a lot of grind. I have played as far as I possibly can now.

Another problem is the different game mechanics. Roam legend near impossible to find, breeding is a nightmare and most items are overpriced. Also no move tutors, missing tm and items.

Updates are slow and you'll spend a lot of time with nothing to do.

TBH I prefer the core games as most parts of the game are more reasonable despite not being perfect.
